Well. I'm feeling slightly better now. I explained to my mom exactly why that alarm clock was so the wrong present, and at least she had the good sense to apologize. :p She said she had meant the present as a "you're going to England in 10 months or so, and you won't have me to wake you up, so I'm buying you the best alarm clock there is" thing. I pointed out that right then, it looked like a "I can't be bothered waking you up anymore, here, have an alarm clock so you wake up on your own" thing, and that if she had meant it like she said, she could've waited and given the alarm clock to me as a goodbye gift when I left for England. She said "good point, forget about it, I'll hide it and give it to you when you leave". :p
